wow, this brewpub has always had a soft spot in my heart and i still stop by at least once every time i’m in new orleans, but with that said, every time i come the beers seem to be going down in quality .. . deep amber .. solid foam .. light resin and a metal aftertaste, hard to finish the glass .. . . Idk why everyone is so excited for Sunday. I smoke Super Bowls like every fucking day.

Tap, brewpub. Pours a clear copper body with a minimal fizzy off-white head that completely vanished. The nose is full of iced tea like crystal malt, big turnoff for me. Can’t even smell the hops over all this sweetness. The flavor has some light to moderate bitterness, but the malt is all crystal, too much residual sweetness. A little too thick and clingy from all the sweetness for an IPA. Crystal malt...yuck. This one just wasn’t my bag.

This was the one brewpub sample I had time for while in the Quarter a few weeks ago. Nose of spice and resin, and a surprising hint of wheat. Pours a medium sparkling copper with an average off white creamy head of moderate duration and fair lacing. I perceived the flavor at first to be too one dimensional, but after the brew had a chance to warm some it opened up with more malty sweetness to balance. Spicy burnt finish. Medium dry lively body that feels astringent at the finish. Though not a heavyweight for the style, it paired well with my Oysters 3 Way which were exceptional.
